Unfortunately not.

This is the part of fsl_ssi_set_bclk() function which is called after 
fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk() (which sets ssi_private->bitclk_freq = freq;).

Before the aforementioned check we do have:

	if (ssi_private->bitclk_freq)
		freq = ssi_private->bitclk_freq;
	else
		freq = params_channels(hw_params) * 32 * 	params_rate(hw_params);


Which assigns freq = bitclk_freq (66 MHz)

And then we break on this particular check:

66MHz * 5 > 66 MHz.



The culprit IMHO is the  ssi_private->bitclk_freq = freq; in the 
fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk(), since we _should_ set SSI's IP block clock 
(ssi_private->clk), not the bit clock (BCLK).


This patch just quits early if it detects change, which don't need to be 
done.
